Backed by an absolutely wonderful soundtrack, Arthur Lowe tells the story of Aesop, a young boy in Ancient Greece who suddenly finds himself in a strange world called Fableland.

He meets a mystical old man who guides Aesop through this strange magical world, where the Gods of Greece had lived since time began. On the journey, he learns many of life's lessons through capers based on the real Aesop's Fables.

Arthur does all the different voices of the characters in the story, including an Irish voice, a Welsh crab and a little girl. Every character is just wonderful!. Rather than seperate tracks, this album is just a continous story.
